i like to play pacific 1940 2nd ed with my friend a lot but he always kicks my ass as the allies. both of us have the same amount of experience in the game having played pacific against each other about 3 times. every time i get bogged down in china due to the massive amounts of Chinese infantry, my navy gets destroyed by Americas in every single operation and and by the time uk gets to china and the anzac starts island hopping, its over. does anyone have any tips or strategy i could try out to help me or maybe a video that could explain how exactly i could try to pull off a victory? thanks :)
Help with fighters

-
Yes.

what i believed, the people i played against said japan could not take the territory since only a plane was in it and you could not shoot it…
they also said we had to have infantry attached to artillery to make it fire…and when i argued those points they called me a cheater -
Understandable. I’ve had similar fights with people who applied a little too much logic to the whole battle concept rather than simply applying their logic to the stated rules in the rulebook. The rulebook states the rules simply enough in most cases, but a lot of overthinking leads to a lot of drawn out and sometimes heated arguments, even on the forums here. :-P

At least one ground unit is needed to capture a territory.
Infantry and planes can shoot at each other without problem if they are in the same space.
Artillery can fire alone. However, it doubles the attack strength of an infantry if an infantry accompanies it. The artillery unit doesn’t represent only the equipment, it represents the equipment and the men who use it. Just as you wouldn’t need an infantry to “drive” a tank, the tank is self-contained with all the personnel needed to operate it.
